Smile that Never Sets

Finally done~ :D This one is quite simple and somehow I feel it's empty >_> I wanted to make an Index wallie but I've planned a different pict from this one. But this image inspired quite a bit so I finally made this one. Making a sunset can never be the worst. I've never really painting before so I take a look at a tut and done it badly. Suck at making the sunset, the ocean goes the same. I never thought it looks decent to me after doing some steps from 2 tutorials. Added some birds coz it looks really empty

Took the picture from this screenshot at someone's blog at ep 15 I think... http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd38/Carissa_A/ToAruMajutsunoIndex-15...
Vectored the flower from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni scan.
